Vehicle Description
1965 Sunbeam Tiger for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present
this extraordinary 1965 Sunbeam Tiger MK I featured in Navy Blue
with a rare factory matching Navy Blue removable hardtop, black
interior, and matching black convertible top. A collaborative
effort of Carroll Shelby, Doane Spencer and Jack Brabham, the
Tiger, like Shelby's Cobra, is a British-American hybrid. It
combines the classic lines of Sunbeam's Alpine roadster, with
proven Ford V8 power. Our Tiger is a Mark I model, powered by
Ford's 260CI V8 with performance upgrades and is rated at about 200
HP at 4,400 RPM. It is one of the first 250 Tigers produced. The
engine has a Holley 4-Barrel carburetor and it is mated to a
4-speed all-synchro manual gearbox. It has 4-Wheel Drum Brakes,
Front Independent Wishbone Suspension with Coil Springs, and Rear
Suspension with Semi-Elliptical Leaf Springs and Panhard Rod. Our
Tiger has the benefit of a complete nut and bolt restoration to the
highest standards of authenticity and workmanship. The Tiger is a
delight to drive and will bring its new owner great pride whether
on a concours lawn or touring event.
